One for the Birds

All the stamps used are by Chocolate Baroque. The main image was stamped on black card with Versamark ink and Cosmic Shimmer mica powders, in various colours, were dusted over to reveal the image. This was roughly torn and then the edges were embossed with gold powder.

The coloured mat layer was hand made marbled paper again with the edges torn and embossed with gold. The sentiment was treated in the same way.

The two birds were embossed with gold on black card. They were cut out leaving a black border around the edges.

The main image and mat were bonded to the black A5 size card with Pinflair gel and the birds and sentiment with sticky foam pads

About Me

I work full time so crafting is only a hobby at the moment but I would very much like to turn it into a career. It is just a case of waiting for the right time.
I love rubber stamping, creating my own backgrounds using various techniques and many other forms of papercraft. Although I have done traditional scrapbooking for many years, I have also just discovered digital scrapbooking. If you would like to see some of my pages find DaisyTrail.com on the web and search for Shirl Freeman. Encasutic art is another favourite of mine. You can create some stunning pictures without being able to paint or draw, which I cannot do to save my life. My encaustic work ranges from small toppers for cards to A3 in size.
In "The Other Blog" I am going to keep away from papercrafting and use this one to present my other craft work such as altered art, paintings, stictching etc.
